Two of the top teams of the Tata IPL 2025 are all set to go on a collision course at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The home team and 5-time champions, Mumbai Indians, are all set to take on the 2022 champions, Gujarat Titans, in what is expected to be a thriller of a game with a playoff berth at stake. In this post, we have come up with free expert tips for IPL 2025 match 56, MI vs GT.
Being the hosts, the Mumbai Indians are the clear favorites to win this game. The Hardik Pandya-led side is on a 6-match winning streak, and their tails are up heading into this contest. Therefore, as per the odds, the Mumbai Indians will start as favorites. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the MI vs GT IPL 2025 match.
MI: 64% win chance GT: 36% win chance
Sai Sudharsan has been a pillar of consistency for GT this season. The left-hander is just 1 run away from reclaiming the Orange Cap, and we are backing him to be among the runs in this match.
The third-highest run-getter of GT this season, Jos has been the lynchpin of GT's middle order. With a wicket slated to support the batters, expect Jos to have a great evening with the bat.
Mumbai's very own Suryakumar Yadav is their leading run-getter this season and has an eye set on the Orange Cap. Having scored more than 25 runs in each of his innings this season, scoring above 29.5 won't be a tough task for Suryakumar.
Having started his season quietly, Bumrah has roared back strongly in the last two games with 6 wickets. The star pacer has been economical as always and has taken wickets as well. Against a strong top 3 of GT, Bumrah will be the key.
Check out the IPL prediction for the SRH vs DC match.
The Mumbai Indians have been playing some really good cricket and looking unstoppable at the moment. They had a slow start to their campaign, like they always do, with only a solitary win from their first five fixtures. Their fortunes took a turn after defeating Delhi Capitals by 12 runs in a thriller at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
That was their second win of the season after 6 games, and since then, the team has looked unstoppable. Ever since defeating DC, the 5-time champions have defeated the likes of SRH, CSJ, SRH again, LSG, and RR. They now have 6 wins on the bounce and look good for their 7th, especially when they are playing at home.
Mumbai Indians are now left with 3 more games, and they need to win only one more game. With their net run-rate, the best among all the teams, only one more win will confirm their playoff berth.However, if they do win all their remaining games, they will finish at pole position on the points table.
Gujarat Titans have been one of the most dominant teams in IPL 2025, largely due to their top-order trio of Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler. These three have consistently provided strong starts, setting up big totals and successful chases. Their combined batting average of 57.6 is the highest in the tournament, and they have breached the 200-run mark five times, showcasing their aggressive approach.
However, their middle order remains untested, as most matches have been decided before the likes of Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, and Shahrukh Khan have had a chance to make an impact. While this strategy has worked so far, it could pose a challenge in the business end of the tournament, especially in high-pressure knockout games where early wickets could expose their underutilized middle order.
If Gujarat Titans want to maintain their dominance, they may need to ensure their middle-order batters get more time in the middle before the playoffs arrive. A well-rounded batting lineup will be crucial in crunch situations, and their ability to adapt under pressure could define their title chances.
